Can a Physiotherapist affixing Dr. or Doctor with his name be considered as Dr. Quack?
Mail4u2dear
(in India) A Physiotherapist affixing Dr. or Doctor with his name is a Quack and can be sued in the Court of Law. Physiotherapists are not doctors and therefore should not be allowed to prefix "Doctor" in front of their name. This is the stern warning issued by the Medical Council of India, the statutory body regulating medical colleges, affiliations, new colleges and doctors registration, after it received representations from several quarters complaining that the rule was being flouted by almost 90 per cent of the physiotherapists working in the capital of India.
Another View: (in the US) If the Physiotherapist just happens to possess a legitimate PHD degree, regardless of the discipline, then they CAN legally use this title along with his name. However, it is true, that they cannot use this title to mis-lead people as to their possessing any valid medical degree.

In defamation suit filed against a doctor by a Physiotherapist the Court has clearly mentioned that Physiotherapists are technicians who are to follow prescriptions of doctors and no medication can be prescribed by the physiotherapist.

As per the Supreme Court's Judgment passed on medical practice in India, it says that only a registered practitioner in state medical register (MCI) can practice modern system of medicine including prescription of drugs, diagnosis, blood and X-Ray investigations.
